Construction materials used in the aviation industry are exposed to extreme environmental influences over their lifetime, which can, in the worst case, lead to material failure. Protective coatings are considered the most effective method to increase the corrosion resistance and durability of the employed materials and, simultaneously, meet strict safety and airworthiness requirements. As there is an urgent need to develop and implement new coating solutions that minimise the environmental impact, the project “Artificial Intelligence-driven Corrosion Testing (AICORR)” aims to significantly shorten the development cycles for such high-tech coatings. For this purpose, the Institute of Surface Science at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon is working together with Airbus to develop a digital twin of long-term corrosion tests to substitute time-intensive evaluation phases on a laboratory scale.
